Alternative Education Math​/Science Teacher Position

Alternative Education Math/Science Teacher Position (1 Year)

Starting Date: Aug 25, 2026

As York High School’s alternative education program, YHS Pathways, enters its 22nd year, there are exciting opportunities to join our team! Beginning the  school year, YHS Pathways is seeking a dynamic, compassionate, and strong teacher certified to teach mathematics at the secondary level. Familiarity with and/or comfort with the Next Gen science standards is preferred. There are no special or additional teacher certification requirements for someone to teach in an alternative program, so possessing a math certification is sufficient.

Our program is a school‑within‑a‑school model that balances individualized curriculum and programming with the exceptional courses and electives licants must be creative, empathetic, and passionate about teaching, and they are encouraged to consider how their individual hobbies and interests outside of the classroom can enrich our curricular offerings.

While every community has different needs and student populations, and alternative education can be defined in myriad ways, there are several hallmarks of teachers who will not only elevate their students’ academic experiences by providing engaging and relevant curriculum, but who will also thrive as professionals in an alternative education setting. Teachers in alternative programs believe that every student can succeed;

they understand the risk factors and life challenges faced by the students in the program. Alt‑ed teachers have the ability to modify their instruction so that students of diverse ethnic, racial, cultural, language, and abilities backgrounds have an equal opportunity to learn through work that is challenging, interesting, and related to the real world. Instructional strategies reflect the teacher’s awareness of students’ cultural/social differences, particularly those that might adversely affect student learning or behavior.

An alternative education teacher’s approach to classroom management is proactive, restorative, responsive, and flexible. Through the whole learning process teachers communicate consistent, high expectations for all students.
